you get a couple other features too (some that really should just be part of reddit native). my favorites are seeing which new comments were posted since visiting the sub, and being able to filter saved posts by subreddit (I have a LOT of saved posts).

Like half of these are wrong, when people try to make these sort of cool images for ATLA they always bend the truth backwards, Azulas strength for example is definitely no illusion at all, maybe her calm state of mind is but that wouldn't make for a cool line. "Aangs wisdom comes from experience" then show a pic right before he's about to wipe out the sandbenders, what??

If you look closely, Katara's just grabbed onto his hand. That's the moment when he decided not to wipe them out, and instead let them go, which is when he learned to be more restrained instead of giving in to his anger.

He didn't learn anything but Katara prevented him from doing so. And even if what you said was right it wouldn't really bear any relevance to "my wisdom comes from my experience". What wisdom did Aang extract from that moment? Other than emotionally restraining and suppressing himself in the episode after?

I always interpreted it as a pre-cursor to the theme of "revenge isn't always justice", which Katara's later explores herself when he hunts for the person who killed her mother, and comes up again at the very end of the series when Aang is trying to decide whether to kill Ozai (10 years later and I still have a grudge against that Deus-Ex machina, but I digress). The wisdom he learns is that killing the sandbenders wouldn't bring Appa back, that compromising his morals wouldn't lead to a fairer or better result, even if it feels that way in the moment.

No the reason Aang is against killing is because the Air Nomads taught him so. It's what he references when arguing against Katara killing Yon Rah or him killing Ozai, he always tends to say "The air Nomads said", "the Air Monks taught us" or "but the Air Nomads believed that". So a lot of his wisdom isn't even from his own experience but the teachings that his culture has passed down onto him. The "thou shall not kill" was a fundamental part of Aangs identity long before the Appa disaster happened.

Yes, but that was a moment where he was tempted to override what the air nomads taught him and give in to his feelings anyway. While he may have advised Katara against it for example, she pretty clearly was ignoring his advice until the end, and the southern water tribe had no such prohibitions against killing if necessary. It wasn't until she had the genuine opportunity herself that she came to the realization it wouldn't be worth it. And at the very end, he was actually planning on killing Ozai, and he even had the final attack prepared and everything. If you remember, there was that scene where he made the elements fly into the sky and come down in a spiral before he canceled and it just fell apart. While his basic values were instilled from the beginning, he came very close to breaking them several times, and his experience here refers to him fortifying himself against that.

what about when Aang straight up MURDERS that Buzzard wasp who takes Momo after he's gone all punisher because Appa was taken?! even after he Momo is freed and the beast continues trying to make his escape. Aang pursues the buzzard wasp with a 100 yard stare, unleashes an air slice attack that cuts the beast in half and it falls out of the sky in two separate pieces. Aang lands, turns and walks away, looking all cold and gangsta as Momo looks on, and even he looks at Aang with a look that's both concern and horrified. Such a great moment of the show. It's this tragic personal moment that, correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't appear to ever bring up to anyone, and the only witness to it is Momo, and obviously he can't talk or tell anyone else. Some really heavy shit right there. What makes that show among the best ever.

Interestingly perhaps as a combination of wanting to idealize the Air Nation and really only learning the basics he's far more insistent on following them than a typical Air Nomad would be, in many situations he was in Gyatso probably wouldn't have hesitated to kill, even if he didn't have the earthly responsibilities of the Avatar.

Katara didn't come up with the realization that it wasn't necessary, she said herself she doesn't truly know why she didn't kill him, and has definitely not forgiven him.

Aang wasn't ready to kill Ozai. He could have ended the fight quickly by redirecting Ozais lightning back onto him, but he consciously chose not to do so. The big final attack was the Avatar State, not Aang himself, which is why he had to snap out of it.

That's true but that's what my issue is with these images. The sentences are just half truths that really don't apply once you actually examine them. Might not be completely wrong if you interpret it in a certain way but it's still not correct the way it stands there.

Bro stop over analyzing things. I’m sure a lot of people like these inspirational anecdotes. I mean, I liked em’. And they all do make sense in their own little way. Maybe you just interpreted it differently than intended. And who cares if the pics don’t really match up it’s not like somebody is paying this person to post this, pics are cool, stop hatin. Plus, cabbages....CABBAGES!

I get you, it's like when people try to figure out what alignment characters are. Like, that works for DnD characters because it's meant to be a quick and simple system, not for characters who have complex arcs and are written to be as human as possible.

I mean, I didn't take it as physical strength in Azula's case. Her emotional strength is an illusion, for sure. She puts on airs of being the strongest and most stoic and fearless, when in reality she has more fears and instabilities than anyone else in the show.

I think it means experience from his past lives. Because he can call upon that wisdom at any point, so referencing his avatar state is a simple way of showing that. And yes, Azula's strength is an illusion. She gets her power from pure anger which ended up being her downfall.

This sub is great, though. Honestly the memes in other show/movie subs like r/dc_cinematic tend to be more cringey.

I'm not starting anything, just stating my opinions since I'm fairly active in both subs and the shitposts and memes in the dc sub tend to be more 'cringey' than here. They have a lot more four panel cringe material and low effort top text bottom text stuff. And even if stuff's cringey here it rarely makes it to the front page.

MY CABBAGES!!

I gotta say that dude persevered, despite losing inventory and equipment multiple times he still manage to start one of the most successful companies and didn't need to be dirty to do it. Truly an unsung hero.

Congrats on being the first to recognize this 😂 the reason I did this was to see how many upvotes I could actually get from this. I will delete this post later cause I feel guilty for being a classic redditor lol

This is arrogant and pretentious even with the cabbages part. Everyone can experience things everyone is passionate about things, everyone has confidence is some things and insecurities in other things and your past actions and story is a big part of who you are. You're not special for these things. This could be less stupid if they replaced "my" with "your"

I think you might be taking this a little too seriously friend. Characters are generally designed around a few personality traits. The traits pointed out for each person are defining features of their character. Throughout the show you see these traits develop and change, yes in more than one character but more prominently in the characters that are outlined in the photo.

Yes real people have all these as apart of their character and in a general way so do cartoon characters. The difference is real people are actually human and behave like humans, characters in a show are created by humans and only change how the creator wants them to.
